Liquid nitrogen-cryopreserved tarsal plate and palpebral conjunctival transplantation for the repair of tarsal defects
The objectives of this study were to compare the efficiency of three methods for repairing tarsal defects (glycerine-preserved, alcohol-preserved and cryopreserved tarsal plate and palpebral conjunctival transplantation) based on histopathological changes and apoptosis, and to evaluate the clinical effects of repairing tarsal defects by liquid nitrogen-cryopreserved tarsal plate and palpebral c...
متن کاملTarsal tunnel surgery secondary to a tarsal ganglion: be prepared before performing this complicated operation.
Tarsal tunnel surgery complicated with ganglia or any other type of cystic mass can be a very challenging operation. Preoperative planning before any tarsal tunnel surgery involving a soft-tissue mass is imperative. Plans to reconstruct the posterior tibial nerve and/or artery should be in place. The authors will present a case study that involved tarsal tunnel syndrome with an associated gangl...
متن کاملAmyloid A Amyloidosis Secondary to Rheumatoid Arthritis
Amyloids are insoluble fibrous protein aggregates sharing specific structural traits. Abnormal accumulation of amyloid in organs may lead to amyloidosis, and may play a role in various diseases. The name amyloid comes from the early mistaken identification of the substance as starch (amylum in Latin), based on crude iodine-staining techniques. For a period, it was debated whether or not amyloid...
متن کاملMalabsorption Secondary to Gout-Induced Amyloidosis
Many chronic inflammatory conditions can lead to systemic amyloidosis. However, secondary amyloidosis has rarely been associated with gout, and the literature reports only a handful of cases, all presenting with renal disease. We report a patient with a history of poorly controlled gout who presented with malabsorption. Endoscopic biopsies confirmed a diagnosis of small intestinal amyloidosis. ...
متن کاملMüller muscle conjunctival resection for blepharoptosis in patients with poor to fair levator function.
It has been suggested that Müller muscle conjunctival resection might not be a good procedure for the treatment of blepharoptosis in patients with less than optimal levator function. This case series includes four eyelids (three patients) that had fair preoperative levator function (4 to 8 mm) and good response to phenylephrine. The mean preoperative levator function was 6.25 mm and the mean am...
